I just checked the plugins directory under
the lib directory and yes, docsis.so, docsis.a
and docsis.la show up. Now, the question is
why does ethereal NOT find it if they are
there with the other plugins??

No - the code to load plugins scans a directory and only loads files
from that directory.  Furthermore, if whatever routine "g_module_open()"
calls to load a plugin at run time fails because the file doesn't exist,
there'd be a warning message printed saying "Couldn't load module XXX",
not a fatal message from the dynamic loader.

That's why I suspect it somehow got linked at build time with the DOCSIS
plugin.
